Valerie Lewis, an Air Force veteran from Ladson, South Carolina, recently discovered that more than $6,000 in medical debt she owed had been canceled, WCBD reported.

Lewis underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. During this challenging time, her mother was also battling terminal lung cancer, adding to her emotional and financial strain.

The cancellation of this debt came as a surprise to Lewis, who initially thought it might be a scam due to the amount and timing.

This development provides some financial relief for Lewis as she continues her recovery and supports her family through difficult health challenges.
